The basketball version of the Civil War rivalry between the Oregon Ducks and the Oregon State Beavers won't be ending anytime soon.

Despite the Ducks switching to the Big Ten Conference and the Beavers moving to the West Coast Conference for the next two basketball seasons (along with the Washington State Cougars), the two programs will start a multi-year series this season in Corvallis in 2024. The return game will be in Eugene in 2025-26.
